Suicide and language: Why we shouldn't use the 'C' word
2013
Suicide is not a sin and is no longer a crime, so we should
stop saying that people ‘commit’ suicide. We now live in a
time when we seek to understand people who experience
suicidal ideation, behaviours and attempts, and to treat them with compassion rather than condemn them. Part of this is to use appropriate, non-stigmatising terminology when referring to suicide.
